Detective Lionel Fusco : Carter? What are you doing here? You got shot, take some time off.
Detective Joss Carter : My vest got shot. It can take some time off.
-
Detective Lionel Fusco : What did you tell 'em about the CI?
Detective Joss Carter : The truth. He was taken out by an unknown shooter.
Detective Lionel Fusco : The guy, you got a good look at him this time, didn't you?
Detective Joss Carter : No. Not his face.
Detective Lionel Fusco : Well, maybe that's a good thing. 'Cause you know, it would be hard. You don't know whether to thank the guy or arrest him.
Detective Joss Carter : No, that'd be easy. I'd arrest him.

Captain Womack : What else have you got on your special forces guy?
Detective Joss Carter : [Eyes Agent Snow] Everything I got is in the file he's reading. Whoever he is.
Captain Womack : You've been after this guy for months. You don't even have a description?
Detective Joss Carter : He's tall. He wears a suit. Sometimes rides a motorcycle. That's it.
Captain Womack : This is serious, Carter. You letting him run, you've made him a problem for the whole department.
Detective Joss Carter : I did not let him run. I've been trying to catch the son of a bitch.

Detective Joss Carter : You're CIA. I met plenty like you in the green zone. So why are you worried about me?
Mark Snow : Because of the man you're chasing. He's dangerous.
Detective Joss Carter : He saved my life. What was that, an accident?
Mark Snow : No. Just proves he still has good instincts.
Detective Joss Carter : Do you even know him?
Mark Snow : Yeah. I was his best friend.
Detective Joss Carter : Then why do you want him so bad?
Tyrell Evans : Because he used to kill people for his country. Now he just kills them. His victims. The ones that we know of. For some he deserves a medal. For some, the chair.
Detective Joss Carter : Why are you telling me this?
Mark Snow : 'Cause we want you to know who he is. He's an incredibly dangerous, incredibly gifted man who's been almost destroyed by the things he was made to do. He's always looking for someone to trust, but his paranoia makes trust impossible.
[Puts a picture on the table]
Detective Joss Carter : I don't understand.
Mark Snow : Kara Stanton, his CIA handler. They were a team. Inseparable, saved each other's lives a dozen times, and then...
Tyrell Evans : He killed her. Then disappeared. We thought he was dead. Gave him his star on the wall at Langley. Then three months ago, you ran his prints. Brought him back from the dead.
Mark Snow : We want to bring him back in before he kills anyone else. Before he kills himself. We want to help him.
Detective Joss Carter : So where do I come in to all of this?
Mark Snow : We think he trusts you. Like he trusted her.

Detective Lionel Fusco : Wish we could hear what he was saying.
Detective Joss Carter : Unfortunately, we're not the NSA.
